I'm looking for a shortest one line shell script to print all special characters in ASCII table (from chr(32) --> chr(127))

Thanks for all your help & support!

    Please define in your question what exactly means "all special characters". (If you have a file named x that contains "all special characters" you can print them with cat x. ;-) ) Commented Feb 17, 2021 at 8:50

With zsh:

$ print -aC16 {' '..$'\177'} ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ \ ] ^ _ ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~ ^?

Or:

$ (){print -raC16 ${(#)@}} {32..127} ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ \ ] ^ _ ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~

(this time the DEL control character (chr(127)) is not transformed to ^?, so you will probably not see it).
